The Poisson distribution is a discrete distribution. It is often used as a model for the number of events (such as the number of telephone calls at a business‚ number of customers in waiting lines‚ number of defects in a given surface area‚ airplane arrivals‚ or the number of accidents at an intersection) in a specific time period. It is also useful in ecological studies‚ e.g.‚ to model the number of prairie dogs found in a square mile of prairie. The major difference between Poisson and Binomial

expected average outcome over many observations.The common symbol for the mean (also known as the expected value of X) is ‚ formally defined by Variance - The variance of a discrete random variable X measures the spread‚ or variability‚ of the distribution‚ and is defined by The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. Expectation - The expected value (or mean) of X‚ where X is a discrete random variable‚ is a weighted average of the possible values that X can take‚ each value
